Do you struggle to be yourself because of fear and insecurity? Do you want to deepen your relationships and feeling more connected to your community? I help people to create new narratives for their lives that reveal their inner strengths, abilities, and resilience. I help anxious and depressed students reach their potential, survivors of traumatic experiences seek posttraumatic growth, mothers adjust to their new roles, and emerging adults struggling with issues of identity development to explore their history of experiences in a nonjudgmental way. Clients who work with me rediscover meaning and purpose in their lives.
We will focus on the therapy relationship as the significant mechanism for change. We'll discuss important elements of your history so we can identify the lenses through which you see the world. I use cognitive behavioral techniques will help you identify problems, find solutions, and measure growth. I incorporate expressive art exercises for healing.
I also use humor, metaphor, and wordplay in sessions to make meaning of life experiences and instill hope. We will work together to find strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, reduce harmful behaviors, and develop new coping skills. I look forward to joining you on your journey of self-discovery.
